Honey & Rose

Tucked into Painswick, one of the Cotswolds' most storied towns, this honey-coloured stone cottage earns its charm without trying too hard. The working fireplace makes the living area a cosy retreat on cooler evenings, while the private garden is the natural spot for a slow morning coffee as the hills roll out beyond. The Cotswold Way starts almost from the front door, and the Stroud Valleys Trail is a fourteen-minute drive for those after longer routes. Back in town, an artisan farmers market adds a reason to linger a little longer.
